Splash water into ice, in the cold winter, whether it is hot hot water or biting cold water, as long as it is splashed on the ground, it will not take long for the water to completely condense into ice.

After the outlying fortress group was captured by the Condor Army, the demon defenders of Hancheng poured water from the well directly on the ground outside the city in order to delay the siege progress of the Condor Army.

The snow mixed with cold water quickly became frozen in sub-zero temperatures.

By the time the main force of the Condor Army advanced outside Hancheng City, it was already a world of ice.

Both on the ground and on the city walls, there is a layer of ice.

Under the sunlight, the irregular ice surface reflects the light in all directions, making it impossible to look at it directly.

Looking at the cold ice world in front of him, Ning Yuan suddenly felt a little cold on his forehead.

Ning Yuan didn't have any good way to deal with the enemy's fortifications arranged with the help of nature's might, so he could only order the soldiers to clear the ice on the ground first.

If they don't clear the ground for a day, they won't be able to attack the city, because people can't stand on the slippery ice, and they are attacking the city on solid ice.

After the hammers and pickaxes were urgently transported from the rear to the front line, the strong orc warriors immediately picked up their shoulders and did it, and in just half a day, they cleared out all the places far from the city walls.

Just when everyone was about to clean up the ice under Hancheng in one fell swoop the next day, the demon defenders stationed in Hancheng gave a vivid physics lesson to the Condor Army outside the city, teaching them what it means to splash water into ice and what it means to live endlessly.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the enemy at the head of the city is pouring water on the city walls."

After dinner, Ning Yuan lay down early, but he had only just laid down when the scout on duty came to him in a hurry.

Hearing the scout's report, Ning Yuan rubbed it and got out of the warm quilt directly.

After putting on his coat, Ning Yuan immediately led a team of guards to rush to Han Cheng.

When he came to the outside of Han Cheng, he was immediately so angry by the scene in front of him that he clenched his steel teeth.

At this time, the walls of Hancheng were brightly lit, and countless demon warriors were constantly transporting buckets of well water to the city walls, and then directly dumped down the ice on the surface of the city walls.

Since there was ice everywhere under the walls, the water could not penetrate the ground in time, so they began to flow down the ice.

Winter nights are colder than during the day, and the cold water starts to freeze as it flows.

In this way, a part of the water turns into ice on top of the original ice, making the ice thicker.

The other part of the water continued to flow forward, and soon flowed to the ground that the Condor had cleared during the day, where it froze again.

As cold water poured down from the walls, the land outside the city soon turned into a world of ice again.

The ground that the Condor had managed to clear during the day was covered with ice again, and as more and more water fell from the walls, the ice continued to spread in all directions.

Seeing that the water was flowing to his feet, Ning Yuan could only return to the barracks with the guards.

The demon defenders of Hancheng told the Condor Army outside through actual actions that if they wanted to break the ice, it was simply a pipe dream, either they would step on the ice to attack the city, or they would get out of the city as soon as possible.

As long as the wells in the city do not run dry, then their tactics of splashing water into ice will not stop.

Hancheng is bordered by the Yellow River in the east, and there are several small rivers that flow into the Yellow River from west to east, and there are abundant underground water resources here, unless it suffers from a drought that has not been encountered in a thousand years, there will never be a shortage of water here.

So if Ning Yuan couldn't think of any effective solutions, then he really couldn't attack the city this winter.

After sitting in the tent all night, Ning Yuan couldn't come up with any good countermeasures.

In the face of this great power of nature, it is too difficult to go against the sky with human power alone.

Now Ning Yuan finally knew why the ancients didn't like to march and fight in the cold winter, because in the cold winter, their main enemy had quietly changed from human beings to nature.

If they want to defeat their enemies, they must first overcome the obstacles that nature has to offer them.

This is the case with Hanseong now.

The main enemy of the Condor Army today is no longer the demonic defenders in the city, but the cold weather here and a series of natural phenomena caused by the cold weather.

If you want to attack the city, the biggest difficulty now is how to remove all the ice outside the city before the enemy splashes water into ice, so as not to give the enemy a chance to continue to use the power of nature.

If the defenders in the city were not demon legions, then Ning Yuan could also send a flying legion to forcibly attack the city.

However, the defenders of the city were demon legions, so this immediately became an unsolvable problem.

"Hey."

After discovering that it was already bright outside, Ning Yuan shook his head, sighed heavily, and then slowly walked out of the tent.

After washing his face with cold water and refreshing himself, Ning Yuan casually took a scone from the guard's hand, and while absentmindedly biting it, he unconsciously walked towards Han Cheng.

When he came to a place seven or eight hundred meters away from Han Cheng, Ning Yuan stopped.

Glancing at the ice under his feet, and then at the ice-covered city wall in the distance, Ning Yuan fell into deep thought.

......

"The enemy is determined to turn the entire city into an ice city, and now we can't get in, and they can't get out, do you think they are not afraid to cocoon themselves and trap themselves in it?"

"You know what?

If the enemy dares to act in this way, it means that there must be enough food in the city.

And this should be their delaying tactic, the purpose of which is to prevent us from breaching the city before reinforcements arrive. ”

"Well, the fifth is right, this is indeed the enemy's delaying tactic.

You think, the tactics of this ice city can only be used in the cold winter, and when the spring flowers bloom and the temperature rises, the ice will directly turn into water.

It is clear that the enemy wants to drag on this winter first. ”

"Is there any solution to that?"

"If there is, your majesty will not have to sit in the tent all night.

Didn't you see that Your Majesty and those generals were frowning this morning?

I estimate that we can only temporarily besiege Hancheng first, and wait until the ice melts in the spring before we can attack the city. ”

"Hey, there's no way around it, who said that in this winter, God is the best pen.

Let the enemies in the city live for a few more months, and as for the reinforcements, I'm afraid they won't be able to wait for them in their lives. ”

"These bunnies can live a little longer, but pity the army that came to their rescue, and met the two ace legions of our Condor Empire, hahaha..."

"Shhhh

If you interrupt Your Majesty's train of thought, be careful that Your Majesty will punish you to go to Siberia to mine. ”

......

While Ning Yuan was pondering, a team of soldiers in charge of transporting de-icing tools were chattering quietly while resting.

Although their voices were very soft, they were still heard by Ning Yuan, who was at the tip of his ears.

At first, Ning Yuan didn't pay much attention to the soldiers' unnutritious chat, but when several people mentioned the word ice city several times intentionally or unintentionally, a light suddenly flashed in Ning Yuan's mind.

"Ice City, Ice City, since you can't fight against the power of nature, why don't you take advantage of the trend and turn Hancheng into an ice city completely?"

"Anyway, now the enemy's reinforcements can't break through the blockade of the Barbarian Legion and the Dwarven Rock Sheep Knights, so why bother with breaking the city right away?"

After thinking through all this, a complete plan immediately appeared in Ning Yuan's mind.

"Come on, send a pot of stew to a few soldiers of that squad, and say I'll treat them to eat, hahahahaha."

After thinking of the strategy of breaking the city, Ning Yuan's face suddenly bloomed with joy, and in a good mood, he directly asked people to praise the soldiers who inspired him.

......

After returning to the camp and eating a large bowl of stew, Ning Yuan directly arranged for his subordinates to start preparing various utensils and supplies.

At the same time, in order not to make Hancheng's enemies suspicious, Ning Yuan continued to send a team of orc warriors to clear the ice.

Looking at the Condor Army outside the city who were trying to clear the ice, the demon warriors on the city wall couldn't help but show mocking expressions.

These two hundred and five, you yourself are full of food and panic, but please don't bother others, okay?

MD, I'm going to have to fetch water and ice all night tonight.

In this way, the Condor Army, under the taunts of the demon warriors of Hancheng, cleared a large chunk of the ice outside Hancheng.

As the sky grew dark, the Condor warriors who had wielded hammers and iron pickaxes for a day withdrew to the camp, while countless torches were lit at the head of Hancheng, and the demon warriors began a new round of ice pouring after dinner.

"Water, water, the more you pour, the more you will be refreshed!"

Ning Yuan, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the busy figure at the head of the city, and secretly mocked there.

While the demon warriors of Hancheng were busy watering, groups of Condor soldiers were busy nervously behind the ice and snow piles they had made up during the day.

In order to clear the open space where the camp was built, the Condor piled a large amount of snow on one side of the camp.

Originally, these snow and broken ice were useless, but after Ning Yuan came up with a countermeasure, they suddenly became an important strategic resource.

During the day, the Condor had already built a large number of stoves near the snowdrifts.

As the sky grew dark, they piled a large amount of charcoal near the stove, and then placed the huge bath bucket that had just been made on top of the stove.

The top of these tubs is made of wood, and the bottom of the bucket is improvised from a large iron pot.

As soon as the soldiers placed the vats on the stove, they lit the firewood underneath the stove.

As the stove fired, the soldiers began to throw snow and ice into the barrels.

The snow and ice begin to melt after being heated.

As more and more snow melts, the water level in the barrel begins to rise.

When the water level rises to the point where it is connected to the bamboo tube, the overflowing hot water immediately flows down the bamboo tube to a small frozen river next to it.

As more and more hot water flows onto the ice, the already frozen river begins to melt.

The Condor Army built hundreds of such stoves along the river, using hot water to melt the entire river.

"Alright, brothers, let's start entering the water, and let the enemy feel the cold rain."

After seeing the river melting, Ning Yuan took the lead in taking off his clothes, and when there was only one underwear sewn with dragon silk left on his body, he sat directly into the melting river.

Driven by Ning Yuan, hundreds of Jiaolong Warrior players also stripped off their clothes and entered the water, and then began to spread clouds and rain.

Hundreds of people walked together in the clouds and rain, and all the water in the small river was drained at once.

The pumped water quickly formed a rain cloud over Han Cheng, and then turned into a rapid shower when the demon warriors were unresponsive.

Since it was dark night, most of the attention of the demon warriors in Hancheng was on carrying water and watering, so no one noticed the dark clouds that suddenly appeared over Hancheng.

So when the rain clouds suddenly turned into raindrops, they were immediately caught off guard.

The shower only lasted less than ten minutes before stopping due to the amount of water, but it brought great disaster to Hancheng.

Because the temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees at night, and the rain quickly began to freeze after it landed, it only took a few minutes for Hancheng to completely become an ice city.

Both the stony streets and the dirt floors were covered with a layer of slippery ice.

Even the demon warriors who didn't have time to shelter from the rain and got wet had a layer of ice hanging from them.

When the whole city of Hancheng was frozen because of this sudden shower, a series of serious consequences soon appeared.

Countless demon warriors slipped and fell due to the freezing ground, and the buckets they were carrying fell to the ground as a result.

When the cold well water in the bucket was spilled on the ground, the situation on the ground was even worse, and some unlucky demon warriors were directly doused with cold water, and fell to the ground shivering.

Many demon warriors' first instinct after falling is to try to get up, but because their soaked clothes have long been frozen, it is difficult for them to find a point to get up after falling.

Many demon warriors have just bracked up their bodies and tried to get up, and then suddenly fall down because of slippery hands and feet.

After several failed attempts to get up in a row, the demon warriors were left crawling on the ice, struggling to crawl towards nearby buildings.

Although the bodies of the demon warriors are very resistant, in such a cold night, they are drenched and crawling on the ice, and they can't stand it even if they are beaten with iron.

Some of the demon warriors who climbed into the surrounding houses in time were better, they immediately took off their frozen clothes after entering the house, and then gathered around the warm fire pit to retrieve the lost temperature in time.

And those demon warriors who are far away from buildings that can be heated are out of luck.

By the time they crawled exhausted to a place where they could keep warm, the heat in their bodies had almost been dissipated, and by the end they had no strength to take off their frozen clothes.

If it weren't for the other demon warriors who helped them take off their wet clothes and put them near the fire pit in time, I'm afraid they would have frozen to death.

Although these demon warriors were lucky enough to pick up a life, they also fell seriously ill because of it, which is as unbelievable as the Arabian Nights for the demon clan, who have never been sick.

This rain shower of less than ten minutes cast a heavy shadow of death on the demon legion stationed in Hancheng.

The 100,000 demon army froze to death more than 7,000 people overnight, and more than 40,000 fell ill, directly reducing half of the number of non-combat personnel.

If it rains like this a few more times, there is no need for the enemy outside to take the initiative to attack the city, and they may all have frozen to death in the sealed city.

Suddenly, a feeling of despair and pessimism hung over the entire Hancheng.
